"Uh... Like you said, we're not the same as you, even if we're divorced, we're still friends in private, and there's something to meet for dinner or something once in a while, not to mention... How?"

When Mike said this, he saw that Lin Zitan's eyes suddenly became aggressive from a puddle of still water just now.

"Does your ex-wife have shoulder-length blond hair?" Lin Zitan compared the length of the other party's hair, but his eyes were watching Mike's reaction for a moment.

"You've seen Amanda, how could it be?" Mike thought as he struggled to recall.

"He is about 1.7 meters tall, and he likes to wear stiletto heels and conservative business suits?" Lin Zitan continued.

"The person you're talking about should be Amanda, but where did you see that?" Mike said and saw a gradually relaxed look on Lin Zitan's face, which couldn't help but be even more strange.

"Probably the winter before last! At Per Se, you were ahead of me. Lin Zitan said lightly, paying close attention to every subtle change in the expression of the old man opposite.

"Oh~ I remember, I went to that restaurant with her once, and she said that she had booked a table for a long time, why were you there?" Mike did not have the slightest embarrassment of having his privacy exposed, but generously admitted.

"Huh?" Lin Zi couldn't help but muttered in his heart, it seems that Mike didn't mean to hide it from that woman!

Mike only said that because of business dealings, there will be some contact with Amanda.

The rest doesn't explain much, as if this ex-wife named Amanda really isn't that important person to him.

The two grown men didn't eat as slowly as the girls, and Mike quickly finished the food in front of him and asked for a cup of coffee before paying the bill.

After that, he sat opposite Lin Zitan and sipped slowly, until Lin Zitan finished his last bite of sandwich, then pushed the coffee up and left this French restaurant full of romance and petty bourgeoisie.

.................

In June, as scheduled, Lin Musen and his colleagues' plane arrived at JFK International Airport at 2:20 p.m., and Lin Zi drove the car and went to the first terminal alone to pick up the plane.

Since the last time Mike specifically talked to Lin Zitan about Lin Musen, he took the initiative to call Li Manrui and told her that all the reception work would be handed over to her, so that she should not have any worries.

Although Li Manrui was inexplicably made by this call, she was still deeply relieved in her heart.

She hadn't seen her for so many years, and she didn't look forward to seeing this man who had made her hope and finally despair, but because of Lin Zitan, she didn't want to make herself look so cold-blooded and ruthless.

She didn't want to let Lin Musen's appearance destroy the mode of peaceful coexistence that she had finally repaired with her son, although it was peaceful coexistence on the surface, but in fact it was dependent on each other.

Lin Musen, who was pieced together in Lin Zitan's memory, was not at all the same as himself in the model of father's kindness and filial piety, but he didn't want Li Manrui to be embarrassed.

Especially when he saw that Mike was also anxious about this matter, as a 20-year-old young man, he felt that it was time for him to shoulder some responsibilities, especially this responsibility was still so natural for Lin Musen!

Lin Musen made a phone call to Lin Zitan before he got on the plane the day before yesterday, which roughly meant that he didn't want Li Manrui to pick up the plane, let alone see Li Manrui's husband, saying that he would lose his face in front of his partners when he was saved.

Lin Zitan wanted to ask, didn't you also get married and have a new family? Why were only the state officials allowed to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps? But he didn't dare, he remembered that this man who Lin Zitan called his father had been a proud son of heaven since he was young.

His professional and external conditions make him a little different from the crowd, and his parents' background and status give him a sense of superiority that he never hides, so Lin Musen has no friends who have ever had a relationship except for being loved by female students when he was teaching.

Lin Zitan remembered that when he decided to go to the sea to do business, Grandpa Lin knocked on his crutches and scolded him angrily, saying that if he even lost his only iron rice bowl, he would be better in the future!

Surprisingly, the business of the appearance company co-founded by Lin Musen was still prosperous, and until Lin Zitan went abroad, he was still immersed in the joy of entrepreneurial success.

It's just that after all these years, Lin Musen still hasn't shown much love for his son, but he feels that the momentum of his speech is getting more and more sufficient, and the spectrum is getting bigger and bigger.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he would ask Li Manrui to help him prepare a five-star hotel near Central Park, preferably within walking distance of the busiest streets in New York.

Listening to his tone as if Li Manrui and Lin Zitan deserved to arrange everything for him, Lin Zitan really lost his affection for this father who had not seen him for several years.

Lin Zitan turned down Mike's offer to book The Hiton club, the most expensive hotel in Midtown, and booked another medium-priced Hitton hotel, although the two hotels were not very far apart, but the price difference was more than doubled.

Lin Zitan parked the car in the parking lot below the first terminal in an orderly manner, stepped a little towards the pick-up gate, and rehearsed the embarrassing scene that would occur when he saw Lin Musen hundreds of times, but he was still very worried about the reunion of father and son later.

Lin Musen in his memory is tall and burly, as well as the unique handsomeness of northerners, and he is always cheerful and eloquent when he speaks.

In addition to appearance, there is also the so-called talent. This may be the main reason why he was able to attract Li Manrui and many young female students in the first place!

Lin Zitan saw the flight information scrolling on the big screen, CA981 had landed at 14:25, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

People waiting to pick up the airport slowly gathered and surrounded an exit passage with three layers inside and three layers outside. Lin Zitan lowered his head slightly and swept around, there were quite a lot of Chinese who came to pick up the airport, and occasionally there were one or two foreigners holding signs, and it was estimated that they were some people on business trips.

As more and more people went out of the customs, there were exclamations of relatives seeing each other in their ears from time to time, and as they waved their hands from one end to the other and shouted loudly at the long gate, Lin Zitan's psychology suddenly gave birth to some expectations and touches.

Since he left his motherland and came to the United States, he has experienced two lives, five or six years of spring and autumn, the first time that relatives have come to visit relatives from the mainland, no matter what kind of mood Lin Musen and Li Manrui have with each other, in fact, he still has some small expectations in his heart.

Just as Lin Zitan's thoughts continued to become emotional with the increasingly boiling crowd, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd out of the gate,

The man was pushing a maroon suitcase in his hand, carrying a black computer bag cross-body, a well-cut dark gray suit, and his well-maintained figure was upright and steady, followed by two middle-aged people of the same age,

Step by step, he walked calmly and forcefully, and walked outside, and when he came to the fork in the road, the man paused, walked around the crowd, and then grinned, raised his hand, and waved vigorously at the woods.

"Son~" shouted very loudly, and immediately focused everyone's attention almost on him and Lin Zitan, who was waiting in the crowd.
